Footprint

3 Apr

I am nine hundred years old
Twelve billion hairs of the eternal beard
Eight acres of dirt

I am many days old
They stretch out behind me
Like worn skins covering earth
Your children have already grown

I walked east when days were hot
But never met the sun.

    You will find the sun if you want to find it,because all is inside of you .
